This native was born at the time when the rising-point of the
lagna was in the Sagittarius navamsa sub-division of Leo sign and in Uttara Phalguni, a Param-mitra nakshatra ruled by the Sun, the lord of the lagna. Retrograde Mercury in Libra navamsa ruled by its

intimate friend and in Poorva Phalguni, a Mitra navamsa ruled by Venus, Mars in Virgo navamsa ruled by its bitter enemy Mercury
and in Poorva Phalguni nakshatra ruled by friendly Venus and Ketu in inimical Gemini navamsa ruled by Mercury and in Magha, a Vadha nakshatra ruled by itself, were in conjunction in the lagna-kendra; Mercury and Mars were in intimate friend’s sign and Ketu in a neutral sign. The Sun situated in the 2nd house was in a friendly sign but in Aquarius navamsa ruled by its bitter enemy, and in its own nakshatra, Uttara Phalguni. Venus in its own sign was in its exalted inimical navamsa and in Swati, a Vipata nakshatra ruled by Rahu; it was in conjunction with Jupiter occupying the sign ruled by its bitter enemy, in its inimical neecha-navamsa and in Swati nakshatra.
Rahu situated in the 7th house in a very friendly sign was in inimical Sagittarius navamsa in its own nakshatra. Saturn occupying a sign ruled by its bitter enemy was in inimical Sagittarius navamsa, and in Kritika, a Param-mitra nakshatra ruled by the Sun. the exalted Moon was in a very friendly navamsa and in its own nakshatra, Rohini. No planet aspects the lagna and the Moon. Births in the 9th navamsa of the rising sign in the lagna are considered auspicious. Mansagari states that the person will be an all-rounder, sharp, adept and learned who surrounded by many servants will lead a comfortable life. This native was born in the dasa of the Moon, the lord of the 12th house from the lagna; it was in its own Rohini nakshatra. The Moon was in an inimical sign but in a friendly navamsa.
Retrograde Saturn occupying its sign of debilitation in the 9th house from the lagna is the bitter enemy of the lord of the lagna; it gains the benefit of neechabhanga but does not give rise to yoga or Rajayoga for it is aspected by Jupiter, its enemy, and by a neutral Venus. The Sun and Mars are the two functional benefics for Leo lagna which does not have a navamsa ruled by Saturn that rules
the 6th and the 7th bhavas. With the exception of Mercury which is a papa-graha and a maraka for this lagna, the rest eight planets occupy inimical navamsas, and neither the lord of the lagna nor the lord of the Chandra-lagna occupy a kendra from Leo lagna.
A debilitated planet occupying the 9th house as malefic does not promote the auspicious significances of the 9th house; it does not make a person fortunate. The lord of the 10th situated in its own sign in the 3rd house does not give rise to a permanent yoga or Rajayoga even though the exalted lord of the 12th house occupying the 10th

house keeps a person regularly employed in the service of others but without much gain. There is the exchange of signs between the lords of the lagna and the 2nd house, here Mercury does not cause a strong Dhana yoga to arise because it is the bitter enemy of the lord of the 4th and the 9th with which it is in conjunction in the lagna, which conjunction is afflicted by the presence of Ketu situated in the same sign. The adverse aspect of Mars on the 4th house has
not made this native a happy person; it has not yet given him an own house to live in, and his parents and younger brother have not spent a happy contented life. The aspect of Mars on the 4th house does not promote happiness or give comfort to one’s mother. Mars as the lord of the 4th house is in conjunction with Mercury, a papa-graha for Leo lagna, which situation has also spoiled the auspicious significances of the 9th house and made this native unfortunate and unsuccessful in his career and life, such a person is destined to lead a discontented and frustrating life.
Venus situated in the 3rd house in its own Libra sign, with the Moon exalted in the 10th house still possessing brightness in the night-sky, does confer yoga acting as a benefic; it has given this native a good wife. Jupiter situated in the 11th house from its own 5th house in conjunction with a benefic has blessed him with a son. Natural benefics situated in the 3rd or the 8th house confer a long life but they do not make one prosperous if they are mutually inimical and happen to occupy inimical navamsa, and evil nakshatras. In this case, Venus is the bitter enemy of Jupiter and Jupiter is inimical towards Venus, both occupy inimical navamsas and an evil nakshatra. Their combined aspect on depressed Saturn also occupying an inimical sign and navamsa in the 9th house has not made this native fortunate, in fact good fortune has evaded him. For the same reason this native though intelligent is not highly qualified. Ordinarily the conjunction of Jupiter with the lord of the 3rd in the 3rd house makes one very enterprising and learned.
The exalted Moon situated in the 10th house not aspected by any friendly planet does not give a regular continuous progressive employment in government or private service. Ketu situated in the lagna-kendra in conjunction with the lord of a trikona has not caused any favourable yoga to arise because of the presence of a papa-graha in the same sign and absence of benefic aspects on the lagna.

This native was born under the influence of the dasa of the
Moon which favoured his father with a regular employment and
promotions in service. The dasa of Mars, the badhaka-lord of the 9th house, ran its course when he was very young. Rahu occupying a Vipata nakshatra and afflicted by inimical Mercury and Mars made this native discontinue his studies and seek employment in service of others. He is presently under the influence of the dasa of Jupiter who has not been kind to him for reasons stated above. The dasa of Saturn which will follow next will give mixed results. Saturn, the mutual bitter enemy of the lord of the lagna, in a badhakasthana and occupying its debilitation sign is in rasi-sandhi, and the lord of the navamsa occupied by it is in its debilitation navamsa. The dasas of the lords of the 6th and the 7th house generally give bad results; they make a person fearful, sick and suffer degradation and disgrace; Saturn simultaneously rules these two bhavas. According to Saravali, papa-grahas occupying the lagna, the 3rd and the 9th give rise to Reka yoga, the person born with this evil yoga is generally uneducated, devoid of wealth, poor, short-tempered and unhappy.
